In general most states have similar requirements to remove your criminal record. These requirements are only a guideline and are not set in stone and vary by state. The best way to find out if you are eligible for an expungement, record setting aside, or other methods of clearing your record is to take an online eligibility test or speak with an attorney.
Here are the basic requirements:
- A set amount of time has passed since your arrest or conviction.
- The offense was not violent or against a minor.
- No similar offenses committed after the offense that is being expunged.
